Harvard & Hurricane Formation Flight

Harvard & Hurricane Formation Flight – “The closest you’ll ever get to the Battle of Britain.”

Fly a Battle of Britain Warbird — With a Hurricane on Your Wing

This is not a static display. This is not a fly-past watched from the ground.

This is a living, breathing piece of 1940 — you, strapped into the cockpit of a genuine T-6 Harvard, as a Hawker Hurricane closes formation off your wingtip in flight. Close enough to see the rivets. Close enough to hear the Merlin. Close enough to capture air-to-air imagery most pilots only dream of.

For a minimum of ten minutes, the Hurricane holds formation alongside you a sight and sound last witnessed over the skies of Britain in 1940, recreated exclusively for you. You will be in the Harvard flying as the Hurricane comes along side as your wing man.

What Is the Harvard & Hurricane Formation Flight?

This exclusive experience combines:

• 20-minute airborne flight in a genuine WWII T-6 Harvard

• Minimum 10 minutes of close-formation flying with a Hawker Hurricane

• Unmatched air-to-air viewing angles impossible from the ground

• A historically authentic pairing of trainer and frontline fighter

You will see the Hurricane exactly as wartime pilots did — not parked behind ropes, but alive in the air.
